Simmonds was dynamic on special teams in Friday night's 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs, picking up both a power-play and shorthanded goal in 17:23 of ice time.
EDGE Analysis
Simmonds thrives on the man advantage, as he used this game to pick up his fifth power-play tally on the young season. His first career shorty, which took place in the second frame after the Flyers forced a turnover in the neutral zone, was simply the icing on the cake. What draws fantasy owners to Simmonds is his penchant for mixing in points with penalty minutes -- he collected 147 PIM last season -- but he's since calmed down in that area, having spent only 17 minutes in the box through 15 games.
